Yes please.
Night time canyon racing in an iCourier at 650m/s is basically entirely guess work and suicide.
It's headlights shine about 6ft.
While the Python's headlights can light up distant galaxies.
Headlights should be a core module we can upgrade and modify (and colour!).

I wish that ships lights could be much brighter. Even my car does shine brighter...
Let's put this into perspective using actual data
Car lights full beam 100m
Python - 1000m
Other ships in the game - 800m
SRV - 300m (Full Beam)
With all that being said, the devs have stated they are reluctant to increase in game ship light range even further due to a large performance hit. Hopefully that will change in Q4 when the improved lighting engine rolls out.
I'd like to see some retractable stadium size landing lights on the bigger ships.

I agree. Yet oncoming ship lights can obscure a planet from view from a massive distance away
Those aren't ship lights they are just the supercruise things, yours will be the same as well whether you have your lights on or not.
Oh cool, i always thought their "lights" were like 1000000m lumen solar flares fitted for blinding large animals and unsuspecting cmndrs. Thanks for the tip [up]
This was discussed elsewhere in another thread but I agree that ship lights could be improved upon. There should either be 'landing lights' separate from 'running lights' and that landing lights should be be controllable to a small extent. I haven't done much dark SRV driving or any races but it's frightening just to think of missing seeing a Clift. So yes so bright light option might help.
